As 2020 comes to a close, we’re taking a look back at some of our top stories from Preservation in Print magazine this year.
In the April issue, @nolacampanella explained how New Orleans launched a successful public health campaign in 1914 against an outbreak of bubonic plague, which included the "rat-proofing" of homes and businesses: http://prcno.org/how-new-orleans-handled-an-outbreak-of-bubonic-plague-in-1914
In the “Demo Denied!” Series in our October issue, PRC’s Nathan Lott explored buildings in New Orleans that were once saved from the wrecking ball. Now restored, these sites show the promise and possibility of bringing historic structures back to life. https://prcno.org/saved-from-the-wrecking-ball/
“We can learn a lot about quarantine and isolation from the thousands of patients who passed through the gates of Carville, Louisiana’s national leprosarium,” wrote Ashley Gaudlip in our May issue: https://prcno.org/revisiting-louisianas-medical-legacy-national-leprosarium-carville
In our October issue, we interviewed Dr. Jennifer Avegno, director of the @nolahealthdept, as she discussed the city’s pandemic response, historic preservation, and finding positivity during these difficult times: https://prcno.org/dr-jennifer-avegno/
